Malachite

Swirling, saturated, ancient in its richness. Deep forest green with banding that looks painted, yet is entirely the work of the earth over millions of years. One of the oldest stones used for healing and protection, found in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome as a powerful shield against negative energy. Malachite is a stone of transformation — drawing out what is ready to be released, moving emotion through rather than around it, and opening the heart to genuine change.
